Practice mindfulness at work to be more engaged and productive
from 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works by Dan Harris
When you multitask and move from project to project, your mind can’t pick up where it left off and has to take a few steps back. This is where the productivity loss is.
How to Apply This
-
Do one thing at a time.
Don't multitask. -
Take short mindfulness breaks to restore energy throughout the day.
For example, watch your breath for a few minutes while you start your computer in the morning instead of fidgeting. Feel the sensation of your hands on the wheel while driving instead of listening to music. When walking to a meeting, pay attention to how the material of your clothes feel on your skin.
